I hope this is not so. I don't tend to be vocal in these debates, but I will feel a strong regret if the encyclopedia becomes the bulletin board for such a community.
I would like to suggest from my own experience a possible factor that tends to consistently skew debates on these subjects. Some of you may be surprised, but most of you will sympathize with the idea that I find the mere subject line of the current thread to be embarrassing and discouraging to my participation. I am very hesitant to visit, even for the noblest reasons, some of the arenas where these debates have run (autofel..., clit...). I am a father, a brother, a husband, a church elder, an engineer, and many other roles in which I am loathe to be associated with the subjects of these debates. I suggest that many, many others like me who have opinions that there is something wrong with including images like this also have various reasons to be discouraged from participating in debates about the same images. I am very sorry that we are absent from such debates, but it just happens that they are framed in ways and carried on in places that discourage our active participation.

I second this. I'd love to see this debate re-opened. Kate Winslet, for example, has 10,000+ images available of her, why do we need to choose the nude one? This is more ridiculous than [[Autofellatio]]. It really is somebodys wet dream.
